Stokesley is a small market town and civil parish in North Yorkshire, set beside the River Leven on the western fringe of the Cleveland Hills and within easy reach of the North York Moors. Its position between Middlesbrough and Northallerton gives it a rural feel while making commuting into Teesside straightforward, and the surrounding landscape makes it popular with walkers and cyclists.

Historically a market and coaching town, Stokesley retains a compact high street of independent shops, cafes and traditional buildings, and the local economy still leans on agriculture, local services and tourism. Community life is lively for a place of its size, with regular markets, agricultural shows and food events, and a noticeable civic pride in preserving the town's character and local traditions.
